*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Yeah, one thing to note, I am only 5'7". So if you are 6'4" you can probably pack it up just fine on top of the camper shell. But I was having to stand on the tire, then the slider, then the other tire, then the bumper etc.

 

5'8" here so I feel your struggle. What you're describing is exactly the profanity laced scene that's holding me back from pulling the trigger on a shell. I wonder if I turn the tent so it opens towards the back, if that would alleviate a lot of the struggle. It seems that the edge opposite the hinge needs the most attention which I could do standing on the tailgate. Other two sides I'd still have to stand on the tires though.

 

I miss the camper shell for sure, but I am much happier being more efficient in my packing of the truck and having it lower on the Diamondback.

 

I hear you on that. I think I'm going to try out the shell, but not get rid of my Diamondback cover and bed rack immediately. Worst case I hate the shell and go back. I know I won't have a hard time selling shell if I want to get out of it.

Anybody have a 23Zero Breezeway RTT? https://23zero.com/product/breezeway-56-double-bed/

This is on my short list. I like the idea of maximized ventilation as it can get very hot and humid here, even in early spring/late fall. Hell, even in winter.

 

Here is one unopened and with the larger tent I had at the time. ARB awning is 6'.

The doors lightly brush the awning upon opening them. I like the low mount but will modify this in the future.
I'm searching to see if I have a picture of it all deployed.

 

Just found this Rubicon hitch tent mounting system on instgram. Thoughts?

Imagine the vibrations from that when offroad. And another huge blind spot.

 

Next, we'll see them revolutionize a tent that doesn't need to be installed on the roof, or your hitch! It comes in a bag, and you can set it up anywhere on flat ground. It'll be crazy.

 

Crazy. That product would never sell

 

If they sold it at REI, every Subaru in the tri-county area will have one in the trunk. Calling it right now.

 

Holy shit that is ridiculous! $1,200 to make a $2,000 tent a $400 ground tent.

 

I have one of these in my garage. About 200 dollars and no need to mount it to a hitch.

 

ill give you $1100 for it
